Rustic Furniture Is The Original Green Furniture!
20 June 2008
Some of you may have heard that old country song that goes "I was Country before Country was cool". Rustic furniture was "Green" before going Green was cool!
Simply by its nature, Rustic Furniture is a wonderful creation that is easy on Planet Earth. It's made from recyclable materials such as trees and leather. The top of the line rustic furniture is only made from the finest materials, not synthetic junk!
Now just any old rustic furniture is Green. Some modern furniture manufacturers are trying to horn their way into the rustic furniture market. They use mass producing machines and assembly line workers who don't know a leg from a spindle. The wood is often times the cheapest they can get into their factory and the materials are often synthetic, and cheap synthetic at that!
True rustic furniture craftsman hand pick each tree they'll be making the furniture out of. Many times, it's a tree that has already died and has cured. This makes the wood easier to work with plus it eliminates shrinkage later on. These Craftsmen take pride in their work and their finished product. They have no qualms about sending a piece of furniture to the kindling pile if it doesn't turn out right or the wood is not up to their standards.
Custom made rustic furniture also last much longer on average than mass produced assembly line furniture you'll find elsewhere. What's truly sad is that many customers do not know the difference between a well built piece of art and a pile of sticks mass produced. It's not until after the customer has had a chance to spend some time with the rustic furniture that they can truly see the difference in the quality of the workmanship and the quality of the rustic furniture itself.
